Multiple "Choose a profile" functionalities don't work

I have an issue where the following operations with the "new" profile manager don't work: - setting up a new profile (about:newprofile in the new profile is just blank) (a new profile gets created though) - deleting a profile (about:newprofile is just blank) - editing any profile that is not the original profile (about:editprofile is just blank) (works with the original profile) - the select profile interface from the account or menu button is blank when opening it from any profile that is not the original profile

What works tho is calling about:profilemanager from any profile. From there any profile can be selected and switched to.

I'm using the Bazzite (Linux distro that is Fedora based). I'm fairly new to Linux so that could be a issue, the problem was there from the get-go though and since Firefox was preinstalled I don't believe I could've messed up much.

Firefox version is 147.0.4 Bazzite version is 43.20260211.0 (Kinoite)

Reboot doesn't fix these issues. Uninstalled Firefox with deleting user data, installed it again and same behavior appears again.

I also tried installing a Firefox fork (Waterfox). It had the same issues.

I would appreciate any help and would be willing to share more detailed date if it helps somebody help me.

The attached screenshots mostly show the UI that is not working as expected.

Hi,

Could you please try an official Mozilla build to rule out your distribution's modifications?

Hi,

Bazzite is using an flatpak-store called Bazaar to install flatpaks. There the installed Firefox points to the Flathub-page "org.mozilla.firefox"

So I guess it's an official build? But please tell me if I assume wrong.

Build-ID: 20260212191108 Distribution ID: mozilla-flatpak

Hm, if so, probably yes. Sorry, I just don't have enough expertise in Linux distributions.

Could you please report the issue on Bugzilla, Mozilla's bug tracker, then? It sounds like something that the developers should take a look at.
